Culturological survey of primitive art artifacts

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to explore technological progress in the context of the development of a primitive culture. The methodology is based on an integrated approach and relies on analytical (when analyzing philosophical, art history, cultural studies literature on the subject of research), historical (when clarifying the stages of development of primitive culture), and conceptual (when analyzing the role of technology in the cultural development of mankind) research methods. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that for the first time the formative role of technology in the cultural development of mankind is investigated, and also the cooperative nature of the production of artifacts of primitive culture is determined. Conclusions. As a result of the study of archaeological finds of primitive culture, it has been established that in the course of cultural evolution, tools at hand have become cultural artifacts, and in the end – and works of art. The introduction of technological inventions has radically changed the specifics of the manufacture of art products. Consequently, as a result of the transformation of technological devices and understanding the logic of the organization of the production process, there is not only a decrease in the form of artifacts but also an improvement in the aesthetic form.
